As Colorado Springs painting contractors, we work with color every day. We can tell you that color is incredibly powerful. It can influence our emotions. It can feel suffocating, or like a breath of fresh air. It can give us a headache, or a new lease on life. It can be energizing, or lull us into serenity. 

Our homes are full of color. Even neutrals like beige and eggshell are colors, and they have an impact. 

Given that we’re spending more time in our homes than ever before, it’s worth it to ask ourselves if our homes make us feel the way we want to feel. 

“Neutral”: Sometimes the Best Choice, Sometimes Not

Neutral paint colors have been a popular choice for decades – not just in Colorado Springs, but everywhere. The idea is that neutrals are quiet and unoffensive, and that they “go with everything.” A beige living room can tolerate anything from cappuccino suede to bubblegum-pink pleather. 

A cooperative, flexible color is a good thing. Sometimes, in some spaces, it’s actually the best thing. 

However, not all spaces are alike – and neither are the personalities of the people who live in them. 

Sometimes, taking a courageous dive off of that eggshell cliff and into the full spectrum of color is a beautiful and transformative thing. 

Home Interior Before

Restorative Interior Paint After!

One Short Video Shows a Lot

We encourage you to watch this video of a recent interior paint job we completed in Colorado Springs, with “before” and “after” examples. 

We painted almost every room in the home, with varying degrees of transformation, and employing an array of techniques and choices. There’s a lot to inspire you. 

  • You’ll see how some spaces genuinely call for neutral colors, but that a subtle tweak in shade can make a huge difference, giving the room a fresh, airy feel. 
  • You’ll see how warmer tones that were popular twenty years ago can weigh a room down, but when replaced with softer, cooler colors, that same room can look classy and contemporary. 
  • You’ll see the beautiful pay-off of being brave and going bold with a distinctive feature wall, like the teal wall in this dining room that says “wow” – but in a whisper.
  • You’ll see how much elegance can be achieved by using a contrasting color on architectural details like built-in bookcases and arched recesses. 

Is it time to make a room look bigger? Cozier? Cleaner and refreshed? More modern? Is your personality missing from your space? Is it lacking the impression you want to make on your guests? 

Maybe it’s time to call Wright Prime & Paint. You might think we’re in the business of exterior and interior painting, and we are. But we’re also in the job of making people feel the way they want to feel. 

So, tell us, Colorado Springs: how do you want to feel?
